Daming: Dad, you are really not good at governing the country

Chapter 454: The Battle in the Army Relies on Liang Fang, the Function of Herbs is Unknown

Inside the Fengtian Hall, candlelight flickered gently in the breeze.

The jumping flames seemed a little restless, making slight "crackling" sounds from time to time.

The light and shadows flickered on everyone's faces, as if reflecting the solemnity or expectation in their minds at the moment.

The carved beams and painted buildings on the roof of the hall, illuminated by the dim candlelight, take on an ancient and mysterious charm.

The auspicious beast pattern on it seemed to be silently gazing at the discussion below concerning the situation of the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Yuanzhang sat upright on the dragon throne, with a picture of mountains and rivers embroidered on the screen behind him, looming in the light and shadow.

It also made him look even more gloomy at the moment, but he had the majesty of controlling the world.

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes were deep and worried, and he glanced at the ministers standing below from time to time.

Those eyes were like a deep pool of water, making it difficult to fathom his inner emotions.

Henan Commander Guo Ying lowered his head slightly and stood in the hall.

At this moment, he seemed to be in a silent and depressing atmosphere, and could only hear the faint sound of the burning candle.

Guo Ying carefully sorted out the words that King Jin Zhu Gang had said before in his mind, and then slowly raised his head.

He clasped his fists and saluted, and said in a firm and sincere tone: "Your Majesty, I have been thinking about the matter of the Usa tribe these days.

Just think about it, there are so many injured and sick soldiers in our army now.

The Chinese herbal medicines in Hezhang County are life-saving treasures. They have truly saved many lives.

I have heard that there are many kinds of herbs in that place, each with different effects.

For example, honeysuckle is sweet and cold in nature.

It enters the lung, heart, and stomach meridians, and has the effects of clearing away heat, detoxifying, and dispersing wind-heat.

If the soldiers were affected by wind-heat, they would suffer from fever, sore throat and other symptoms.

Taking honeysuckle decoction can effectively relieve symptoms. "

Guo Ying paused for a moment, and then he reported in detail: "There are also some particularities in growing honeysuckle. It likes places with plenty of sunshine and good ventilation. The soil should be loose, fertile and well-drained.

Generally in spring or autumn, it is appropriate to select strong branches for cutting propagation.

Insert the cuttings about one-third into the soil, and water them sufficiently after insertion to keep the soil moist.

After rooting and sprouting, regular weeding and fertilization are required.

Before flowering, you can apply appropriate amounts of phosphorus and potassium fertilizers to allow the honeysuckle to grow luxuriantly.

The more flower buds there are, the better the medicinal effect will be.

However, Your Majesty, although honeysuckle is good, there are also taboos when using it.

People with spleen and stomach deficiency, coldness, and qi deficiency with clear pus in sores and ulcers should not use it, otherwise it will easily aggravate the condition. "

Guo Ying raised his eyes and looked outside the palace. Through the half-open palace door, he could see the branches of several ancient trees in the courtyard, swaying gently in the night breeze.

It seemed as if they were also listening attentively to the words in the temple.

He paused for a moment and saw Zhu Yuanzhang nod slightly, as if indicating that he should continue speaking.

So Guo Ying continued, "And the Astragalus is a good medicine for replenishing qi.

This medicine is slightly warm in nature and enters the spleen and lung meridians.

It can replenish Qi, raise Yang, consolidate the exterior and stop sweating.

For soldiers on the battlefield who are weak and exhausted due to overwork and deficiency of Qi and blood, using Astragalus combined with other medicinal materials to make a decoction can help them recover their vitality.

Astragalus is suitable for planting in sandy loam with deep soil, fertile, loose soil and good drainage.

Seed propagation is generally used, and the seeds must be germinated before sowing in spring.

Soak the seeds in warm water, and when the outer skin cracks and turns white, take them out and sow them.

After sowing, cover the soil and compact it to keep it moist.

After the seedlings emerge, they should be thinned and fixed in time, and pests and diseases should be prevented during the growth period. However, care should be taken when using Astragalus, and those with excess syndrome and yin deficiency and yang hyperactivity should not take it.

To prevent it from helping to generate heat, which would be harmful to the body."

Guo Ying took a deep breath and continued, "For example, Panax notoginseng tastes sweet, slightly bitter, and warm in nature.

It enters the liver and stomach meridians, and has the functions of removing blood stasis, stopping bleeding, promoting blood circulation and relieving pain.

Soldiers will inevitably suffer bruises, injuries, bleeding and blood stasis on the battlefield.

Grind Panax notoginseng into powder and can be used for external application or internal consumption.

It can quickly stop bleeding, remove blood stasis and relieve pain.

Panax notoginseng prefers a warm and humid environment and is afraid of severe cold and scorching heat.

It is best planted in well-drained, humus-rich loam or sandy loam, and is usually propagated by seeds.

However, the seeds have the characteristics of after-ripening and need to be stored in sand before they can be sown.

After sowing, build a shed to provide shade and keep the soil moist.

During the growth period, it is necessary to control the light and humidity, and apply fertilizer in time.

Of course, there are also contraindications to the use of Panax notoginseng, and pregnant women must not use it.

Because of its strong blood-activating effect, it can easily lead to adverse consequences such as miscarriage.

In addition, although Houttuynia cordata has a somewhat special smell, it has the effects of clearing away heat and detoxifying, eliminating carbuncles and discharging pus, and promoting diuresis and relieving stranguria.

If a soldier's wound becomes infected and festering, applying crushed Houttuynia cordata externally can also have a good anti-inflammatory and detoxifying effect.

Houttuynia cordata mostly grows in moist places such as ditches and streams. It has strong vitality and is easy to reproduce.

It can be propagated by rhizome division. Just cut the rhizome segment with buds and bury it in the soil. Keep it moist and it will take root and sprout.

However, Houttuynia cordata is cold in nature, so people with deficiency-cold syndrome and negative sores should not take it.

Hezhang County has more than 2000 kinds of Chinese herbal medicine resources. As long as they are properly prepared, they will be of great benefit to the soldiers in healing their wounds and diseases."

Guo Ying took a breath and continued, "There is one more thing, Your Majesty.

The coal and iron ore resources of the Wusa tribe are even more extraordinary.

According to relevant exploration personnel, the proven reserves of coal resources are as high as 30750 billion kilograms, and the proven reserves of iron ore resources are an astonishing 6540 billion kilograms.

If such abundant resources can be used reasonably, whether it is for making weapons, our soldiers can use sharper and stronger tools.

Or developing other military-related industries, which can all contribute to the military strength of our Ming Dynasty!
Therefore, the value of the Wusa tribe to our Ming Dynasty is too great and should not be underestimated."

Zhu Yuanzhang listened to Guo Ying's story and nodded slightly.

There was a gleam of light in his eyes, as if he saw the prospect of a stronger military for the Ming Dynasty.

But then he looked distressed, sighed deeply and said slowly: "Alas, we all know the importance of the Wusa tribe.

Unfortunately, although our army occupied such an important place, we were unable to take advantage of the situation to expand our victory due to many constraints.

I am really worried in my heart!

I thought Fu Youde was experienced and a veteran who had won many battles.

We entrusted him with the important task of conquering Yunnan because we had high hopes for him.

We should be able to take over Yunnan smoothly, but I didn't expect the progress to be so slow.

At that time, I was so angry and anxious that I almost issued an imperial decree to reprimand Fu Youde.

But I was afraid of discouraging the soldiers at the front, so I resisted the urge to issue the order. "

Seeing this, Zhu Gang hurriedly took a step forward. The stone slabs under his feet made a slight sound, which was particularly clear in the silent hall.

He bowed respectfully, and then said in a steady and earnest voice: "Father, I think General Fu has made great achievements in the war. He has fought bravely for our Ming Dynasty and made many contributions."
